Consumptive hypothyroidism in a two months old infant secondary to hepatic haemangiomas

Ahmed Hassan Alghamdi.


Abstract
The case described in this report is of a two- month-old boy who presented with severe hypothyroidism. The infant also had multiple hepatic haemangiomas. The cause of hypothyroidism was found to be due to consumption of the hormone by the tumour. The patient was put on high dose of thyroxin and medical treatment for the haemangiomas. He was followed for three years, cured from the haemangiomas, was no more suffering from hypothyroidism, and all treatments were stopped. More details about this case and similar other cases have been discussed.

Key words: Consumptive hypothyroidism; Hepatic haemangioma; 3-iodothyronine deiodinase.
